Move MN @moveminnesota.bsky.social has a template for sending a letter to Minneapolis City Council to tell them to Withhold Municipal Consent for the Lyndale Ave Redesign until the plan includes safe options for pedestrians, buses, bikes, and everyone!

Please share!

Scenes from Cashman Halloweens past. You wanna be there!!

Two women giggle in a selfie. They are cast in purple light.

Four pumpkins rest on cement stairs. They are each carved with a letter to spell the word vote.

One of my favorite pieces of local housing & climate writing is this one by @avocadoplex.bike.

I think of it often & thought of it again today. Good for about a zillion reasons. I hope you’ll give it a read (or another!)

The meta level of it for me, as someone who is In Too Deep, is that we’re talking about it right now - & that’s ’actually romantic’ too

While this is not my favorite song, I would be very surprised if TS were not aware of the irony - & I’d bet that’s part of the point of the song

To be fair, he biked to City Hall most days when he was a council member. Also did a few events with Our Streets in the day

This morning I talked to the people at my bus stop about the election. I prefaced it with ‘this is dorky but…’ & they all humored me. Voters are everywhere 😉

Don't sleep on Michelle Wu, one of this country's most quietly effective climate leaders, cruising to a second term in Boston. It's telling that business interests tried and failed to stop her and are pouting about it now

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu is coasting to reelection after her main opponent quit the race, giving her a commanding mandate that’s putting city business leaders on edge.

I think too Fry will likely really only do one more term if he wins whereas ward 7 opposition could be there a really long time & be near impossible to win against in subsequent elections

I think the c3s bit is crucial here especially in this ~environment~ I can’t blame them for playing it safe

I am curious who at the city could be bought with landlord money that would warrant such concern

"we strongly recommend taking transit" and "no bags allowed, if you bring any, you will be asked to return them to your vehicle" in the same event information email is so funny

After that, times when Cashman voted with Rainville, Vetaw, or Palmisano but not Wonsley, Chavez, or Chughtai.

& lastly, there were two times when she voted with none of them!

Long story short: I do believe that Cashman thinks independently for Ward 7 & has not been corrupted by...anyone.

The next largest slice is when Cashman voted with either Wonsley, Chavez, or Chughtai, but not Rainville, Vetaw, or Palmisano. If you can believe it (again!!) our DSA friends (yes, friends!) do not all always vote together.

Right behind are votes where Cashman voted with members of both 'groups.'

Undivided votes in the tracker make up the largest slice of the pie! And this list isn't even an exhaustive list of undivided votes, if you can believe it!
